Blown Head Gasket repair w/pics

I spent about as much time cleaning the parts when they were off as I did actually wrenching. And they are so clean thanks to about 10 cans of brake cleaner.

I now have only one more question for Bill UK. I remember you saying that you messed up and didn't pull the block drain when you removed the head and coolant got down into the oil pan. I did the same thing but I am planning on changing the oil and filter before I start it. Its been sitting in there since January. Did you mean you messed up and ran the motor like that? Or did you change the oil and still have a problem?
